MONTGOMERY, ALA. — CONVICTED. A federal jury has convicted two men linked to a U.S. branch of the Irish Republican Army of trying to export assault rifles and other firearms. Prosecutors said Brian Joseph Fleming, 32, of Enterprise and Charles Farrell Malone, 63, of San Francisco wanted to send the weapons to Irish terrorists. The IRA has been fighting for decades to unite the Protestant Northern Ireland with the Roman Catholic Irish Republic.
